Specimen Passages from the Rcpublican
Ex-speaker's Garfield Grafton.
We are indebted to Mr.. Keller. 81
Ohio. fer copy Of his Grafton on Gcn-
cral Garfield. We can not print il in
full. A few specimen passages will
give an idea Of Mr.. Kcifcr's oratory:
ITO be esteemed worthy citizen IN the
time ana OF the country In which he lived
man must be possessed Of more fulness OF life.
more generosity OF soul and more love for his
fellow men than was accounted necessary 70
good citizenship in past generations"
"Citizcnship In our country includes sover
eighty and power, or capacity % command o.
direct the anairs Of state"
The philanthropy incident 10 the perfected civil
ixation grown up over the grave OF the barbars
ism Of the dead past"
"Thc people OF this purified Union. being
imbued with spirit OF personal integrity, do
nand OF the statesman freedom from corrup-
ton, and an exalted policy In keeping with
their own lofty character"
"Garfield lived IN an age and country where
pure patriotism stamped the citizen with tho
majesty OF greatness more than In any other
age or government"
= Art and letters may satisfy restless genius,
but physical hcroism IL necessary 70 inspire
patriotism"
blind the sight Of knowledge. and for the
maniac the sanctuary OF comfortable repose,
rcigned over by tender. God.like care"
After looking through Mr.. Keifer's
address. which is full Of just such pas
sagcs as these. we can readily UNDER
stand why SO determined an effort was
made to deter him from appearing at
the unvailing Of the Garfield statue
and speaking his piece. II is plain
that somebody who respected General
Garfelds memory had read the ora
ton beforehand. But We can not un-
dcrstand why the courts were not APP
pcaled TO 70 prevent the outrage. ~

THE ARMY OF ISRAEL.
The Advance Guard Of this Organiza.
tion to Attack HALEY.

Two of the members Of the Army
of Israel arrived in Haley last even
ing by private conveyance, and will
conduct services in the Methodist
church. as stated elsewhere.
This army was founded in May,
1862; but later-July 2, lS76-it was
re. organized in San Francisco as the
Church of the First Born. At first it
numbered about GOO persons, but at
present it has less than 100, only a
part of whom dress in uniform. This
consists of navy blue frock coat and
pantaloons, trimmed with white braid ;
the female members wear clothes cut
much the same as those OF other
women, but OF the regulation navy
blue cloth. They travel from place
to place, holding revival meetings
and living upon donations and col
lec,ions. They preach wherever they
happen to get crowd-in public
streets, squares, etc.
There are only half dozen or SC
mem bers in Utah-and two of thes,
have just arrived here, to-wit: Cap
tain Carlton and his wife. The othe
soldiers OF the Army of Israel are j,

Army OF Israel goes about With tn
